Austria — wine

Vienna

The world's only major capital city with a significant wine-producing area within its limits. The Wiener Gemischter Satz — a legally defined field blend of at least three white varieties grown together — is Vienna's signature contribution to world wine culture. Gruner Veltliner, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay dominate the vineyards on Vienna's western slopes.
